I got a rabies vaccine once and it’s cost me $1080 in total.

Insurance said they worked reimburse me, but they changed their mind step I submitted the paperwork to be reminded.

Fuck United healthcare

    Just the vaccine series due to risk or the entire propylaxis after an encounter?

    It was 3 injections I think and it was because I was visiting tropical country and the cdc website recommended a series of vaccines.

    I mainly got them because insurance said they would reimburse it. But they didn’t and all in all I’m out $2000.

    They even admitted that they told me they would reimburse it and they were wrong, but they still refuse to reimburse me.

    Yeah so that's just the vaccine itself no immunoglobulin . And you're right the price is insane. For a killed virus rabies vaccine for animals it costs $20 a dose or less for just the vaccine. For administration it's higher and varies but still, the price is just stupid.
